Is there a way that the autoreply can be sent more than once. Outlook is set
up to only send one message to each message sender. I have a user that would
like the people who send her mail to get a message from her EVERYTIME they
send her a message. Is this even possible. Thanks!
 
No -- the reason for only one reply per sender is to prevent endless mail
loops. Picture this scenario: You have the OOA turned on, and so does Joe
Bloggs, and there is no limit to how many times the out of office message can
be sent to a particular recipient. Joe Bloggs sends you a message right
before leaving his office. Your OOA catches it and sends him an auto reply.
HIS OOA catches your reply and auto replies back. Your OOA catches HIS auto
reply and auto replies back again. With the speed of most mail servers and
connections these days, can you see how quickly this could bring both servers
to a crashing halt? :-)
